Illuminate your smile with professional whitening
Are you ready to say goodbye to yellow teeth and hello to a brighter, more confident smile?

How much does professional teeth whitening cost?
Our in-office teeth whitening service is available for $499. It's important to note that typical dental insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening. However, we strive to make our services accessible by accepting most major insurance providers, offering in-house financing, and providing membership plans to help manage the costs.
How does teeth whitening work?
The teeth whitening process involves applying a gel that contains a powerful whitening agent. When this gel comes into contact with the stains on your enamel, it breaks down the chemical bonds that hold the stains to your teeth, effectively "bleaching" them away. This process restores your teeth to a more natural and brilliant shade of white.
Can teeth whitening remove all kinds of stains?
While teeth whitening is highly effective for external stains, it cannot correct discoloration caused by internal dental issues. For such cases, our cosmetic dentist may recommend other treatments such as dental veneers, crowns, or fillings.
Who can benefit for teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is suitable for most adults who desire a brighter smile. However, it is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women, children under the age of 16, or individuals with allergies to bleaching agents.
How can I make my teeth whitening results last longer?
To keep your smile looking its best after a professional teeth whitening treatment, it’s essential to follow a few maintenance tips. First, continue practicing good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Use a whitening toothpaste to help remove surface stains and prevent yellowing. Avoid or minimize consumption of stain-causing substances like coffee, red wine, and tobacco.
Additionally, consider using a straw when drinking beverages that might stain your teeth. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also crucial, as they help remove plaque and tartar that can dull your smile. Finally, follow up with periodic touch-up treatments using the custom-fit whitening trays provided by The Tooth Experience. By adhering to these guidelines, you can extend the life of your bright new smile and enjoy lasting results.
